Ring Road Parking

10 Cars. One Ring. Zero Room.

Inspiration

I wanted to create a game that captures the "one-more-try" spirit of classic 2D arcade cabinets. The inspiration was to take a simple geometric shape—a circle—and turn it into a high-pressure puzzle of spatial management. I wanted to see if I could take a 2D interface and make it feel just as intense as a 3D simulation by using speed and sound to build tension.

What it does

This game is a high-speed 2D precision game where players must park a fleet of 10 cars onto a rotating circular track, One car at a time spawns and orbits the ring. A single tap stops the car and gets parked, The Twist : Each successful park increases the orbital speed and narrows the landing zone. The Competition : The game integrates the Leaderboard component, ranking players by the "Least Number of Tries" taken to complete the full 10-car set. It’s a battle of patience versus reflex.

How we built it

Focusing on the 2D category, I built this project by: 2D Asset Management: Utilizing the 2D bitmoji Stickers as the main player Rotational Math: Using JavaScript to calculate the 2D coordinates of the cars as they orbit, ensuring the "Park" transition is smooth and frame-perfect. Leaderboard Logic: Setting up the global and friend-based scoring system to track "Total Attempts," making every mistake feel meaningful. Adaptive Difficulty: Scripting a linear speed increase that peaks at the 10th car, creating a "boss-level" feel for the final park. Crash screen shake and sound with parking audio, amazing confetti burst on winning is the best part

Challenges we ran into

making the game look and feel interesting although being a 2D game was the challenging part

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully using the Leaderboard component to turn a simple 2D mechanic into a competitive social event among friends.

What we learned

how to use the Leaderboard to turn a solo game into a community experience.

What's next for Ring Road Parking

I want to add a new system to this that turns the city ambience based on the time of day, like in day its day light, sunset time sunset vibes and at night a night city vibes
